Killeen and Cardir win Not Fight.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March 3D. 9-Killeen
and Cardiff will not fight, at least not for
the present. Their managers failed to agree
upon the terms of the proposed fight, and
the whole business has fallen through. The
date of the fight seems to have been the stick
ing point Cardiff's manager wanted the
privilege of naming the date after his fight
with Sullivan. To this Killeen's manager
would not agree Professor Donaldson said
to-day that Cardiff was ready to fight Kill
leen anyway or for any amount, but that
they would not name the date of the fight
until after the Sullivan Cardiff meeting, be-
cause there was a possibility that Cardiff
might get injured in his fight with Sullivan,
so that he would not be able to meet Killeen
If certain time was specified in the articles

best surgical opinion as to his broken arm.
He went to the office of DR.. Sayre, who
after an examination of the injured mem
Der said it had been set with the palm
downward instead of the reverse, and
while the fighter conversed with his
friends the doctor with a furtive glance
observed Sullivan's preoccupation, and
placing his left hand on Sullivan's fore

gave the arm a sudden wrench which
broke the bones asunder a second time.
Sullivan bounded from his reclining posi-

back upon the cushions in a dead faint
ing spell. Salts and other vivifying APP
plications soon brought him back to con
seriousness and he found his left hand
lying palm upwards, as DR.. Sayre says it
should do. But the fighter was knocked
out and became further wcaried by fruit
less ~rctchings. He was Strengthened ont
after awhile, however, and his arm was
bound in felt wadding and finally set in
plaster of paris. DIR. Sayre says it will be
all right in four weeks hence, and will be
as strong as ever.

spoiled them for the b~urdensome life Of a

them from accepting what they regard as
mental employment, and so the poor
